Funding is entirely through the Los Angeles Unified School District. No LACCD funds shall

II. Design-Build Detivery Method -Staff Recommendations:
A. District's Prior Adoption and Recognition of the Design-Build Delivery Method.
The Design-Builddeiivery method was adopted by the Board of Trustees on December 3,
2003 (Corn. No. BSD5) as a delivery option District-wide.
Education Code sections 81700 et seq. specificaUy authorize community coilege districts
to utilize the Design-Bui!d delivery method as a safe and cost efficient aitemative to
competitive bidding because the Legislature has determined that it can produce
accelerated compietion of projects, provide for cost containment, reduce construction
complexity and reduce exposure to risk for community college districts. The Legislature
has also determined that the cost-effective benefits to community coliege disfr-icts are
achieved by shifting the !iabl:lity and risk for cost containment and'project compietion to
the design-build entity.
The foregoing Code sections aiso: A) recognize and permit that the full scope of design,
construction, and equipment awarded to a design-build entity under the applicable Code
sections can be authorized in a single funding phase and that a community college
district can award design-build contracts on a "best vaiue" (quatitative selection) basis;
and B) require that the governing board of a community college district makes'written
findings that use of the design-buiid process will accompijsh one of the foliowing
objectives,
(i) reduce comparable project costs, (ii) expedite the project's compietion, or
Ill
provide features not achievable through the traditiona! design-bid-build method.

Use the Design-Build Delivery IVIethod for the Subject Project.
Staff has reviewed these objectives and concluded that the design-build delivery method
shouid be used for this procurement because it will: A) expedite the project's compietion;
and provide features not achievable through the traditional design-bid-bulld method

to risk for the District for the reasons expressed in Lead Construction Counsel's

pricing proposals from those Pre-Quaiified design-build entitles for this procurement
seeking the "best value" proposa! for the procurement.
Utiiizing the foregoing processes, Staff has identified a proposed awardee for this
procurement as listed herein below, which in Staffs opinion wil! provide the best value to
the District for the reasons stated above and beiow.
The app!icab!e code sections aiso require the District's governing Board to issue a
written decision supporting its award and stating in detail the basis of the award as set
forth in the proposed Resolution (Attachment 1), By way of adoption of the proposed
Resolution the Board will announce its award by-_^j^erttify!n9 e,su?c.essfu! Desi9n"

combined rating on the request for proposai evaluation factors. The Resolution sha!i also
include the Board's ranking in relation to all other responsive proposers and their
respective price proposals and a summary of the District's rationale for the award.
The successful DBE is: Harper Construction Company, Inc.
The DBE'sLump Sum Price proposal amount _is $22,996,969as compared to the pricing
from the other two proposers which was: $19,650,000; and $27,324,464.

SUBJECT: DECLARATION OF COIVIPENSATION AS INDEFJNITE
Declare that all management, confidentiai, and other unrepresented academic,
classified and unclassified employees' salaries, benefits, and other terms and
conditions of employment are declared indefinite for the 2015-2016 fiscal year
as a result of financial uncertainties, negotiations, legislation, and other factors.
Backflround: The California Constitution allows for retroactive pay when
salaries are uncertain because of collective bargaining, reclassifications or other
matters. This action will allow the Board of Trustees to adjust compensation for
unrepresented employees as may be warranted based on the outcome of
changes arising from collective bargaining, including but not limited to the cost
of employee benefits, which will not be completed by the beginning of the fiscal
year.
